Italeri 1290 1/72 S.79 Sparviero - Period Aircraft Model  [IT-1290S]

Introducing the Italeri 1290 1/72 S.79 Sparviero kit

The Italeri 1/72 S.79 Sparviero kit recreates the Italian three-engined aircraft that saw both civilian and military service around the Second World War. Valued for its speed and operational range, the S.79 presents a notable subject for modellers interested in period aviation and compact display pieces.

Modelling highlights and historical notes

Despite modest defensive features, the S.79s role in maritime operations makes it a compelling choice for a historically inclined build. The kit offers accurate external shaping and surface detail suitable for weathering and marking variations favoured by scale hobbyists.

Finished size and presentation

The assembled model measures 22.5 cm overall and conveys the Sparviero's streamlined profile in 1/72 scale. Proper finishing and decal placement yield a convincing small-scale replica for cabinets or themed displays.
